What we’re about
The BrisVegan meetup is a social group for like-minded people to come together to share food, ideas, knowledge and create community.
You don't have to be vegan to join but please only order vegan food at meetups and bring vegan suitable dishes to pot lucks etc. We would love to introduce you to how great vegan food can be!
Disclaimer: Please note that all events are simply outings of interested people. We are not an official club or association, and therefore participants are asked to take personal responsibility at events.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Action for Animals, Activism Meetup @ Vega CafeVega Cafe, Spring Hill
Have a laptop? Want to make your voice heard for the animals? Then join us to take Action for Animals together at our casual monthly co-working drop in! Regulars, newcomers and sporadic participants alike are always welcome 🌱🐾
Note: These events are also posted at facebook.com/A4AForum/events. You can RSVP here, there, or in both places if you like!
We'll be meeting at the wonderful Vega in Spring Hill with our laptops/tablets/phones etc for some food / coffee etc, and to do some digital activism together – anything that creates a kinder world for animals, from fighting factory farming to protecting the planet we share.
What we do changes at each event, but our digital actions include signing petitions, writing to our political reps, making policy submissions, and any other forms of useful digital activism we come up with as a group.
We generally chat and enjoy a beverage for the first while and then get into the work after that.
Curious to see our previous actions (and catch up on any you missed)? Check out the spreadsheet here.

Come along and have fun playing (new) board games, arcade and pinball machines, chilling and relaxing from your day and/or simply having conversations with other people from the group. Netherworld has a HUGE selection of boardgames, so there is no need to bring any.
RSVPs are even looser than normal and you can come earlier and leave anytime, Netherworld is open from 12:00-23:00.
Unfortunately, we cannot book tables in advance, so the more people who can be there early, the easier it will be to get table(s).
If we can't get enough spaces you might be leaning up against the bar...though we've always managed so far.Everyone is welcome, but if you are not vegan (even vegetarian), and you are attending this event, please order vegan food to respect the mission of the group and other members. Luckily at Netherworld this couldn't be easier, as the food is "vegan by default". https://www.netherworldarcade.com/food/
Look forward to seeing you!
